I disagree with you strongly in some of your assertions of what are "poor decisions." Giving all Americans health care is not a "poor decision." I see health care as a human right that should be granted to all. The basic need to be taken care of should not be dependent on if someone works. And furthermore, it really doesn't matter if one works anyway. The current healthcare system is so screwed up that even those with healthcare find it increasingly difficult to have their medical bills paid for. Americans should not fear healthcare as so many do. I talked to a man in Louisville, for example, that found a mass on his body that he fears could be early stages of cancer. He has, at this point, refused to go to the doctor because he his health insurance won't cover the full expenses of his doctor visits based on the dreaded "pre-existing conidtion." Now that is simply not right. Healthcare should be as accessibly as free public education.

 

The money we are wasting in Iraq - could help us fund such health care initives. If we can afford to kill people - we can afford to heal people.

 

I do not see healcare as a right. I see it as a product that is provided and paid for like any other.

Really wasn't the issue - but we can debate this in another thread. The point was that LBBC tried to say that Sen. Stine was a pro-life democrat when in fact she is a wingnut Republican.

 

She is a republican, but I don't understand the "wingnut" term.

This is where we disagree strongly. Health care is not a human right and should not be given to all, that is the beginning of a socialist state.

Well, I and a vast majority of Americans, would oppose your view.

Wingnut is a term currently used in U.S. politics as a political epithet referring to anyone that is conservative or on the right. Moonbat is an analogous epithet aimed at extremists on the political left.

Many countries, many of which not socialist, have a Universal or National health care system. In fact, The US is the only industrialized nation to not have a single-payer Universal Health care implemented currently. Canada and the United Kingdom are two great examples of not socialist socities that have implemented and enjoy universal health care.

There are many things that many other countries do that I do not want the US to follow including this issue of healthcare for all.

Back to McConnell and his likely opponent.....

 

 

 

 

One-issue politics hurts.

 

That depends on wether you are the one getting aborted or not. I am sure the babies would disagree with you.

We have been instructed to get back on topic and discuss McConnell's opposistion, so if you want to bring up abortion is a more appropriate thread we can debate it.

Getting back on topic...

 

I recieved a letter today in the mail from Andrew Horne asking for my support in his campaign. He looks to be a strong canidate. He has got to get the ball rolling with name recognition though.

By what measure do you declare him a strong candidate? I know Mr. Horne, and his credentials are what doomed him in the primary versus Yarmuth. For instance, he is a plaintiff's attorney that did not have the support of the plaintiff's bar.

I was wrong. I will easily say that when I am wrong.

 

I thought she was Dem.:thumb:

I would agree as I have zero clue on who he is.

I would expect Larry Forgy to take a whack at him first and force him to spend several million in a bloody primary battle.
